​A lot was wrong with this budget but the worst and most unforgivable part was the $1 billion for health care, education, and benefits for illegal immigrants and only $237 million for out Veterans. Our District is ome to the fantastic Rock Island Arsenal and Historic Hero Street in Silvis.

​Gregg Johnson and all who voted for this should be ashamed of themselves
